MENTORS CHAPTER

Not content with doing the Black Templars, Robert is now
tackling the Mentors. This marine is equipped with an old ork bolter
to represent a typical prototype the Mentors are known for. Robert
did the conversion.

I wanted to try shading white, so I have done the final pass
on this guy with a dark brown wash over the white bits, plus grey, yellow,
brown and metallic details. The bird head decal is off the Chimera
sheet, and is perfect for the Mentors.

Robert wanted an unusual model for his leader- with experimental weapons
to go along with the Mentor's background. This is a Necromundan Orrus
spyrer model with a marine backpack added. Robert painted this one,
including the fine caution stripes.

Normally restricted to scouts, the Mentors' penchant for odd weapons
led to this sniper marine conversion. This is actually a scout sniper
torso, with shoulder pads, legs, head and backpack added from a plastic
marine.

Techmarines are known for their experimentation, so a Mentors
Techmarine must be pretty out there! This conversion includes a repositioned
servo arm, an additional servo arm (from a servitor), a rock drill arm
from a pit slave, and a bionic leg conversion made by replacing the left
foot with a landing gear pad from the epic Thunderhawk miniature!
All this on top of the nice Command squad Techmarine model, and well painted
too. Kudos entirely to Robert for this outrageous mini.

Another unusual model, this time a standard bearer made
from a Chronopia miniature. Robert added a marine backpack, Storm Bolter,
Purity Seal, and a skull added to the original banner, then painted the
model up to match the rest of the mentors. Very characterful...
